University of Chicago hopes to regain lost glory
Even as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University have become the pre-eminent technology-research institutes of the US, the information age has mostly passed by the University of Chicago. Chicago University is all geared up to regain its past glory and bag a place among the top 10 science schools within five years.
